Historically, failures of distribution transformers due to transient overvoltage phenomena have led to the development of resistor-capacitor snubber circuits for the protection of the transformer and ...

The other day, I was casually scrolling through Google when I stumbled upon a flood of dirt-cheap RC snubber circuit modules on various online stores. That got me thinking—it’s high time we talk about ...

The snubber (clamp) circuit is as close as possible to the transformer. Traces to the Y capacitor are as short as possible and one side is connected to +VDC for better surge protection. The loop area ...

In his SMPS Technology Newsletter, Jerrold Foutz reports that an instructional video, “R-C Snubbers,” which features power design expert Rudy Severns ...

In any relay circuit you should have a small diode in reverse polarity across the relay coil. When the relay De-energizes the back emf can be more than the source voltage. A simple 1N4007 ( basic ...
